ABOUT EHAN
Ethan displayed tremendous talent on his bike from a young age and quickly grew to love this great sport. Although new to racing he practically grew up at the Bike Park at Constantia Uitsig and spent hours having fun on his bike and honing his skills.
​
At 14 Ethan worked building websites to pay for his first full suspension bike. Once he had the right bike to be able to compete Ethan immediately excelled in the downhill races, coming 3rd overall in his first season.
In 2022 Ethan dominated the WP Series, taking a convincing win. He placed 4th in the South African series even though he could only get to 2 of the 4 races due to financial constraints.
Ethan is an example to many of the younger riders and coaches at The Bike Park. After school he also runs a small business, Hunter Ramps, building wooden mountainbike ramps, which help kids and adults improve their skills. Ethan is working hard to achieve his dream, which is to represent South Africa at the Downhill World Cup.
